21.1.3
Fast On
Fast On is intended to reduce the boot time for systems with a fixed configuration
.
Once
a successful boot path has been established,
enabling this function allows this boot path to be used for every subsequent boot process. This reduces the boot time, because only the
components needed for booting are initialized. If the system configuration is changed,
open the BIOS Setup once only to confirm the new
configuration.
Due to the short boot time, it is not usually possible to enter the BIOS Setup by pressing
key
F2
.
To enter the BIOS Setup, power up the system
with the on/off switch and keep
pressing the on/off switch until you hear a beep. The BIOS Setup then opens.
Note that connected devices (e.g. SSD/HDD type & firmware, etc. ) can increase the boot time.
To optimise the Fast On function, if possible
configure as follows:
• Under First Boot Device, enter the preferred boot medium.
• Disable TPM.
•
Disable the SMBIOS Eventlog function.
• Disable parallel and serial ports.
Disabled
When the system is switched on, a complete initialization is performed.
Enabled
When the system is switched on, initialization is performed only for the components needed for booting.

USB Support
If this function is disabled, USB devices (including USB keyboard) are only available after booting the operating system.
It may not be possible to use setup and operating system boot menus if the function is activated
.
This function remains without impact if
the function for entering a user password is enabled with every boot process.
Disabled
USB components are not available before booting the operating system.
Full Initial
USB components are available already before booting the operating system.
